1341 Dealing with Lota?
Hearing Victoria’s voice, Lauren hurriedly said, “Victoria, I heard about you. Congratulations. I’m really happy for you. You achieved your dream and accomplished what many women can’t. You’re really amazing.”
Victoria replied. “Lauren, I don’t think you’re calling me to congratulate or praise me, right? You must have heard about what happened in Orlando, that’s why you’re calling. I know the Howards’ stance, but I can tell you clearly that no one can stop me from doing what I want right now.”
Lauren said, “You’ve misunderstood. Victoria, I don’t want to stop you. I know that you’re a kind person. You’ve lived in Orlando for so long and love the citizens of Orlando more than I do. Those people are like your family. How could you hurt them? I’m calling to ask if you’ve seen Jordan? I couldn’t get through to him. I wonder if you’ve seen him since you left Immortal Lake?”
Victoria recalled what had happened between her and Jordan at the ranch after the two of them left the Immortal Lake. She immediately felt guilty.
Victoria said, “No… I don’t know where he is either. Don’t tell me you suspect me of controlling him? Although I do have the ability now, you know my love for Jordan. I won’t hurt him.”
Lauren smiled and said, “Victoria, what are you saying? Why would I suspect you? Now, I’m really happy. You’re a golden mutant. You and Jordan are on the same side. I don’t have to worry about the Moon Maiden and the others hurting you.
“Victoria, you and Jordan are really compatible now. Have you ever thought about getting back together with Jordan? If the two of you get back together, we can be sisters like before. You’ll be the older one and I’ll be the younger one.”
Victoria snorted proudly, “I’m sorry, Lauren. I can no longer share a husband with another woman. You can have Jordan to yourself. Although I far exceed you in other aspects, I still lost in love.”
Lauren said, “Victoria, how can you say that? Lota and I both think that Jordan loves you the most. In Jordan’s heart, I can’t compare to you at all.”
Victoria sneered. “So what? We’ve been through so much, but I’m not the one by his side in the end. By the way, what’s that little slut Lota doing?”
Lauren immediately panicked. Previously, Victoria was jealous of Lota and sternly refused to accept her.
Lota came from a good family. She was young and innocent. She was better than Victoria in all aspects. When she gave her first time to Jordan, Victoria was very jealous.
Now that Victoria had become a golden mutant, she could easily control a city. If she wanted to deal with Lota, no one would be able to stop her!
Lauren said, “Victoria, what do you mean by asking about Lota? She has always respected and admired you.”
Victoria said, “I don’t need her respect and admiration. Jordan said that he felt a sense of familiarity when he comprehended the Goddess of the Immortal Lake in the Immortal Lake. I suspect that this matter has something to do with Lota. This little girl, Lota, is so perfect that she doesn’t look like an Earthling. She was imprisoned for 18 years. The first time she came back to the human world was when Jordan took her away. I’m very suspicious of this little girl’s background!”
Lauren was shocked. “Victoria, you mean…”
Victoria said, “When Jordan said that, the first thing I thought of was that little b*tch, Lota. Where is she now? Is she still in the capital?”
Lauren panicked. “She… she went skiing. Victoria, are you thinking too much? You just received your golden bloodline. You should rest more.”
Victoria sighed. “I am indeed very tired, I won’t say anymore.”
Victoria hung up the phone, but Lauren was stunned.
“Mrs. Steele?”
At the side, Lionel called Lauren a few times, but she didn’t respond.
“Oh, excuse me.”
Lauren came back to her senses and immediately called one of her subordinates over. “Go find Miss Lota and send her to Switzerland immediately. Tell her to stay at home and not run around.”
Lionel did not understand. “Mrs. Steele, this is…”
Lauren said, “I’m sorry, Lionel. It involves some private matters that I cannot tell you. Go back first. I’ll contact you if anything happens.”
After Lauren’s maid sent Lionel off, she returned and found Lauren already standing in front of the desk, writing with a brush.
“Miss, you haven’t written for a long time but your words are still as beautiful as ever!”
The maid admired Lauren’s exquisite calligraphy.
On the paper the words written were: Like the light clouds that close the moon, like the wind that returns to the snow.
The maid looked at the words and asked, “Miss, what do these words mean?”
Lauren explained patiently, “Her vague appearance is like a cloud gently covering the moon. It’s erratic like snowflakes blown by a wind. It’s a poem describing the Goddess of a river.”
The maid giggled. “Goddess of a river? There’s such a goddess? Haha, why did she fall into the water?”
Lauren couldn’t help but laugh. “Silly girl, it’s referring to Lota. Lota… might really be a goddess…”
Lauren looked out of the window, and the uneasy feeling in her heart increased.
…
India.
The next morning, Jordan and Jiumo Kasyapa sat cross-legged on the high platform. Below them sat more than ten monks who were not young. Some of them looked much older than Jiumo Kasyapa.
However, these could be considered Jiumo Kasyapa’s disciples or juniors who came to preach with him.
“The world is ever-changing. The country is in danger and fragile. There is no body and mind in the Four Great Bitter Spaces. Life and death are hypocritical. It’s like we are observers.”
“…”
Everyone spoke one after another, but Jordan did not listen. His thoughts had long drifted away.
“Deity Jordan, Deity Jordan.”
Jiumo Kasyapa called Jordan twice before Jordan came back to his senses, “Oh, I’m sorry, Master Jiumo. I was distracted. You’re all eminent monks. The content you’re talking about is really difficult for me to understand. I can’t keep up with it. Can you make it simpler? Can you not use Buddhist language?”
Jiumo Kasyapa smiled and said, “Deity Jordan has read all kinds of books in the family since he was young. How difficult is it to understand our words? It’s just that Deity Jordan’s heart is in Orlando, not in this temple, so he cannot keep up.”
Jordan’s thoughts were seen through by Jiumo Kasyapa, “I’m sorry. Since I promised Master that I would learn from you, I should be more serious. Master, please continue.”
Jiumo Kasyapa clapped his hands and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Jordan and Jiumo Kasyapa.
Jordan stood up and walked toward Jiumo Kasyapa. “Master, are you angry with me?”
Jiumo Kasyapa shook his head and sighed, “Alas, I originally wanted to use Buddhist scriptures to reform you, but since Deity Jordan has no interest in Buddhism, I can only…”
